Most metals are not magnetic but iron is why?

Physics
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
5 0

 This is because of the way that the electrons in an atom of iron behave. The electrons in an iron atom tend to have the ability to align themselves and face one toward one direction such that one side of the atom has high negative charge and the other side has a high positive charge. So then that atom will behave like a tiny magnet.

 Now when many of these "tiny magnets"  line up, their combined attraction creates the force known as magnetism.

Most other elements do not have this unique property that iron has and that is why they are not magnetic.

What is the energy of the photon emitted when an electron in a mercury atom drops from energy level f to energy level b?
xeze [42]

The energy of the photon emitted when an electron in a mercury atom drops from energy level f to energy level b is 3.06 eV.

<h3>Change in energy level of the electron</h3>

When photons jump from a higher energy level to a lower level, they emit or radiate energy.

The change in energy level of the electrons is calculated as follows;

ΔE = Eb - Ef

ΔE = -2.68 eV - (-5.74 eV)

ΔE = 3.06 eV

Thus, the energy of the photon emitted when an electron in a mercury atom drops from energy level f to energy level b is 3.06 eV.

What factor might be contributing to climate change
kirza4 [7]

Geological records stretching back millions of years indicate a number of large variations in Earth’s past climate. These have been caused by many natural factors, including changes in the sun, volcanoes, Earth’s orbit and CO2 levels.

However, comprehensive assessment by scientists shows that it is extremely likely that human activity has been the dominant cause of warming since the mid-20th Century.
